With their team getting blown out, the Nets' Joe Johnson and Paul Pierce are seen laughing on the bench. They hold their shirts over their noses for several minutes as if somebody ... well, something smelled bad. (And no, it wasn't the Knicks on that particular night.)

Regardless of what was so funny, Johnson agreed Monday with Jeff Van Gundy's criticism on the television broadcast during the incident.

“(Van Gundy’s) probably right. We shouldn’t have been laughing,” Johnson told the New York Daily News. “I can’t remember honestly what Paul said, but it had to be super funny for me to laughing and for us to losing the way we were losing.”

We'll probably never know what was so funny on that particular night. But Johnson, Pierce and the playoff-bound Nets certainly get the last laugh over their Big Apple rivals this year.
